If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“Let me make it easy for everyone. Every single video and image that is currently going viral online claiming to show the aftermath of US strikes on Iran's Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan nuclear sites is false. They all show air strikes or explosions from days, wks or months ago.” @shayan86.bsky.social

“Bonfire of red tape” promised Cameron who boasted of intending to be the first western government to leave office with less regulation than when they started. Both are lines Seymour has or could have used. Bonfire of something. Turns out they did need that regulation after all

Ah, yes. My first interaction with my local MP and he manages to immediately doubt my intelligence while misusing a comma. Exactly what you'd expect. May his remaining time in politics be incredibly short 🙏 You can oppose his shitty bill here (only one day left!): www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Ensuring fat dividends are generated from the power sector instead of more, cheaper, more secure and cleaner generation is a massive policy and leadership fail by successive NZ govts. Is not a technology issue, but a greed one. Subsidise distributed solr/batt ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Every single person, regardless of neurotype or (dis)ability has a story that goes “I didn’t understand X until someone explained it differently”. Students bring their whole selves to learning - culture, aptitudes, experiences, preferences- teaching must be flexible and multi pronged to accomodate.

We need to stop pretending Luxon is being walked over by Seymour and Peters and acknowledge that he's using them for cover to do exactly what he wants. And he should suffer the same (electoral) consequences as them.

Watching a documentary on the Grenfell Towers nightmare, currently on Netflix. There were numerous points of failure, but one particular outrage was the Cameron government’s policy of any new regulation being passed requiring the retirement of two others. Fucking braindead populist murderous BS.

Speaking of “BOTS”… 🙄🤦‍♀️ Humans are very complicated beings. Neurodiversity is FACT, not an anomaly to be erased. Everyone processes the world around them differently. Ffs, this is BASIC stuff Erica. 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearoa #nz

Tamaki leading a hate march, Seymour spotlighting academics for his fans to harass, Malpass repeating Israeli propaganda... we have a hell of a fight on our hands next year, folks.

THIS. It's not only gendered and racialized up the wazoo, but it's always cowardly AF too. Its no accident Seymour picks his targets carefully - officials who are constrained from clapping back, academics who don't have deep pockets (or institutional support) to sue. And on it goes. #nzpol

Make no mistake, there is a very clear double standard between men and women in politics and the way they’re treated by some media. We have deputy prime ministers and ministers getting off with little scrutiny for abhorrent behaviour. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... (paywall)

Just witnessed from a bus Destiny church people assault a man carrying a Palestinian flag on Queen St, Tāmaki Makaurau. Their march was hate filled and anti immigrant. Free Palestine! End the killing and the hate

Went to Bunnings with my sister to buy big bags of mulch for another sister, and two different men asked if we needed help as we lugged them onto the trolley. I guess we look old and frail rather than just old. We are actually quite strong.

Seeing people valiantly trying to make sense of some Brian Tamaki Destiny Church position. Fool's errand. Like looking for poetic metre in calculus equations would be. It's just not that kind of language.

No matter how he dresses up the words, Destiny held an Islamophobic march today and I'd like to see stronger condemnation for that. March 15 didn't happen in a vacuum. Destiny Church protesters set flags on fire in Auckland rally www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

They ripped him apart from his pregnant wife in her last trimester. They stole from him the birth of his baby boy Dean, his graduation ceremony, his first Father's Day. They detained him illegally for 104 days. But today, Mahmoud Khalil is FINALLY FREE. 🤍✊🏼

Jacinda's success with taking a humane and science based approach was a threat to the types of people we see currently in power in the US and in this country. They were determined to bring her down and, with the widespread funding of misinformation on social and MSM, they were successful

David Seymour’s schtick works because he is not held accountable by anyone. Not Luxon. Not the media. Yeah he is interviewed here and there or whatever but there’s not true accountability. Absolutely no way a Green leader would get away with this level of nonsense. Not to mention he is dangerous.
